Interview - Adam Nutter, The Music

To a dedicated fanbase The Music are An Important Band.

At a time when the New Rock Revival were consuming most of the musical oxygen on both sides of the Atlantic, four lads from Leeds were, in simplistic terms, producing high-octane rock music and sprinkling it with flecks of dance for a unique sound, at various points compared to the Stone Roses, The Verve and Led Zeppelin.

Their tale is a familiar one: four friends who took on the world before being chewed up and spat out by a ruthless music industry.

They supported U2, Oasis and Coldplay in a journey that also included three fine indie-rock albums, with the first having instantly iconic cover artwork.

Last year the band played two reunion shows, the second of which (at Temple Newsam Park in their hometown) saw them perform to their largest-ever crowd.

A heart-warming story for the band and their fans, but it came at a cost. While the rest of the band continued with their lives, the Music’s dissolution hit guitarist and co-songwriter Adam Nutter hard as he turned his back on the industry and went off the radar for a decade.

Now, thanks to the power of the internet and Tim Burgess’ Twitter Listening Parties, Nutter is back on track with a solo album, Badlands On Fire, due for release this Friday.
